Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the top off a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 45 minutes until soft.

Cook gnocchi in salted boiling water until they float to the top. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and prosciutto pieces. Cook until crispy, then remove and set aside.

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the same skillet and mash into a paste.

Cook garlic paste for a few minutes, then add heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and season with salt and pepper.

Add truffle oil and stir to combine.

Add gnocchi to the sauce along with crispy prosciutto, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and a splash of reserved pasta water.

Toss everything until creamy and well coated. Serve hot with extra Parmesan if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Garlic Roasting Precision 🧄
Wrap whole garlic heads in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil to ensure even, caramelized roasting without burning.
Pasta Water Magic 💧
Always reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining - it's crucial for creating a silky, emulsified sauce that clings perfectly to the gnocchi.
Prosciutto Crisp Technique 🥓
Lay prosciutto slices flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 7-10 minutes until they become delicately crisp without burning.
Truffle Oil Finishing 🍄
Add truffle oil as a final drizzle off the heat to preserve its delicate, complex aroma and prevent flavor degradation from high temperatures.
Cream Sauce Stability 🥄
Temper the heavy cream by gradually adding hot pasta water and stirring constantly to prevent separation and ensure a smooth, luxurious sauce.
